Velika planina - Alpine Dairy Settlement

Velika planina is a high mountain plateau boasting one of the best-preserved traditional dairy herdsmen's settlements in Slovenia. It has an undulating landscape full of karst sinkholes and hollows. The tradition of pasturing and cheesemaking still lives on its mountain pastures where herdsmen tend their cattle from June to September, and picturesque herdsmen's cottages (the oldest have an oval floor plan) dot the mountain pastures in clusters.
